Creating Your Personal Life Plan

I am a busy executive, husband, father, grandfather, blogger, and Sunday school teacher. I play a lot of roles. I’ll bet you do, too. I am often asked, “How do you get it all done?”

Two words: Life Plan.

Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive.

They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life.

Michael’s e-book is brilliant. Discovering your purpose and acting on it is crucial to becoming who God created you to be. Creating Your Personal Life Plan is POWER-PACKED, simple-to-follow and has the potential to be life-changing!”

– CRAIG GROESCHEL

In fact, most people spend more time planning a one-week vacation than they spend planning their life.

I believe that this is why so many people end up discouraged, disillusioned, and wondering what went wrong. They arrived at the wrong destination.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can live your life on purpose by creating your own personal life plan.

Why do you need a life plan? Three reasons:

  1. It will give you clarity about where your life is headed.
  2. It will keep you in balance when things get crazy.
  3. It will give you peace of mind, knowing you are are addressing those aspects of your life that matter most.
With Creating Your Personal Life Plan, Michael Hyatt has fired A LASER BEAM OF FOCUS into a world of uncertainty. Finally, a brightly lit, well-marked pathway for the person who desires true and lasting success!”

– ANDY ANDREWS

Creating Your Personal Life Plan is not so much an e-book as it is a life planning experience. In the e-book, I will take you through:

  1. A visualization exercise that will give you enormous clarity on what matters most.
  2. A five-step program for identifying where you are NOW, and how to get from here to where you want to be.
  3. A weekly and quarterly process for keeping your life on-plan and moving in the direction of your highest priorities.
  4. Two planning templates, a Word document and a separate Excel document, that will make it easier for you to create your plan and keep it up-to-date.

    I am facing 50 this year.  I know God has called me to write, in addition to being a high school teacher.  I hope this guide will “order my steps” so I can do all God has for me.

      While I have not completed the guide, what I have finished has helped me gain more control of my life. I believe it will do the same for you.

    Hey Michael, I’ve been following you on Twitter and reading your blog for a few months now, and I just completed my first version of a Life Plan.  I really appreciate the way you think about the world.  Your writing is influencing how I live in major ways, and I appreciate that.  Thanks for sharing your life lessons with me.  As a young leader, I am in your debt.

  • Portsomewhere

    Michael, I enjoyed E-book very much. I was quite shocked it started with thinking about my own death, even though I often refer to the importance of things based on how they will matter when I die. The information was extremely insightful and I look forward to completing the worksheets. Thank you!

    Hey Michael,

    I just went away for 24 hours this weekend to create my life plan.  It was an exhilarating experience.  I came back wanting to share with everyone about my time and how fruitful it was.  Thank you so much for giving me the tools to focus and put into action the question: What do I want my life to be like?  

    I do have a question: in the Quarterly Review section, you mention reviewing your business plan and that you already set your business vision in another session.  Do you have any resources you would recommend for actually creating your business vision or just adapt the life plan to your business?

    Thank you so much.

      Keeley,
      Glad you had such a productive time setting up your life plan. Are there any big take-aways that you can share?

      • Anonymous

        Hey Barry,

        I really like that it balanced who you want to be as a priority over what do you want to do.  It was great to think about who I want to be and ways I can get there.  

        I combined doing my life plan, with making my annual time block, and with setting 90-day objectives (http://michaelhyatt.com/goal-setting-the-90-day-challenge.html). I think that helped me move from thinking about the forest, to seeing the trees, to having a short path to follow for now.  

        I was able to do it all in a 24-hour time period, but would have loved to spend more time on it.  I’ve been spreading the word about how great the time was and what a useful guide the book was.  Thanks again Michael!

        Keeley

        • http://theordainedbarista.com Barry Hill

          Keeley,
          That’s great! I love the combination of your long and short range goals… great advice! I can get very lost in the weeds of my long range goals and can feel overwhelmed by their short term implications! Good stuff, and good luck!

    • http://michaelhyatt.com Michael Hyatt

      The guys at Building Champions consulted with us at Thomas Nelson to develop ours. They are the same guys from whom I learned life planning. I would highly recommend them for business vision and planning.

      • http://www.MicheleCushatt.com/ Michele Cushatt

        I’ll add my recommendation to Michael’s … Building Champions is an excellent organization!

    This is absolutely awesome. I’m only to page 18, and I can already see how helpful it’s going to be, to me and to my readers. Thinking about how I want to be remembered by specific groups is already helping me to find more focus, which I desperately needed.

    In case none of the 495 previous commenters has mentioned it: layout as well as content is great! The design really supports your text. Kudos to whoever put the e-book together.

    • http://michaelhyatt.com Michael Hyatt

      Ha! Thanks for that. I actually did the design myself.

    Wow.  This is powerful.  I need to block out two full days, sit down with my wife, and go for it.  Thanks for giving me a great template for my life.  Well done, Michael
